Theyrecalled few situations in which they felt similar and negative (non-uniqueness). In Study 2,students also recalled situations with these combined attributes, although a few situations alsoaligned with individual-level ODT predictions. Although preliminary, these results suggest thatODT has limitations when applied to individual identity.IntroductionAs engineering schools have become ethnically diverse, faculty have realized that diversity alonedoes not ensure inclusion.

For each question, students were asked to rate their response to generate a numericvalue between 1 and 5. The scale was bound by a rating of 1 representing ‘Not at all’ and a ratingof 5 representing ‘Very/Highly’. The means and standard deviations are tabulated for eachquestion across the four semesters. The participation was 100% for each term because everystudent was required to submit their responses as part of their assessment.

While the earlierdownward trend is reversed, the significant underrepresentation of women in engineeringremains. The underrepresentation of women creates a lack of diversity in engineeringworkforce, which hampers development of innovative and
